Les Gibsons rares : marauder, corvus, moderne, MIII

Bizarre la plaque métallique derrière : manche vissé ?

Bien sûr manche vissé, sur un corps en plastique ils allaient pas les coller

C'est vrai que le Sonex by Gibson fait plus sous-marque que modèle à part entière

Rare la Les Paul Recording avec une config electronique speciale

The Gibson Personal

"I bought the Gibson Personal back in the seventies. I didn't like the pickups. I met Paul Hamer and I asked him to get the bloody pick-ups off and make me a maple top and put my old humbuckers back on there so I would have my old sound. Because the body is a little wider and longer it has even more sustain than the black Les Paul Custom, and it was lighter as well. So Paul refurbished it for me and the thing arrived in the studio in New York at the moment I was starting to record Tabernakel with Les Paul's son Gene behind the desk "

"I used it on most pieces on Tabernakel and, of course, Hamburger Concerto. After the Personal I also used a gold top Gibson."

The Framus

"The Framus came about when I was approached by a South African guy who lived in Germany and worked for Framus. He wanted to do a signature guitar. This was round about 1972. And I still had this liking for the old Hofner Les Paul semi-acoustic and also the larger model which was like the L5. The Framus was a mixture of all those instruments actually and the head designer for Gibson, Billy Lawrence, designed the pickups like the P90s and the synch switch and the two controls. One control was to cut out the middle so you keep the high end and the low notes, the other was volume. I was very pleased with the Framus but I understood later that the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy and that guitar was for them like a last gasp. They expected to sell millions. There are several hundred guitars in unfinished form somewhere."

EDIT - C'est vrai qu'elle est sympa, cette guitare. Tu l'as eue entre les mains, Doc ?
